“Katie spent around 2 hours inside the venue, with onlookers claiming she enjoyed multiple drinks in the beer garden,” a source revealed after seeing the star in the flesh.

They went on to describe the extraordinary lengths the artist formally known as Jordan went to in order to conceal her identity.

“When she left at 5pm, a friend stood in front of her to block photos being taken, while an unsteady Katie hid under an umbrella, despite it being the hottest winter day on record,” the source went on.

“She stumbled into her waiting car on all fours, and was driven off, before stopping at a petrol station to use the toilet,” they continued.

Katie was wrapped up in a beige jumper and ripped white jeans for her afternoon out – and drew attention despite her best efforts to avoid it.
